“We can’t thank you all enough,” she wrote in the caption to a collage of photos of her and Buddy. “This has been the most painful week of my life but Wilmer [Valderrama] and I had so much love and support, I’ve been able to stay strong and will continue to get through this difficult time.”

“The out pour [sic] of love and support has been unbelievable and it means the world to us,” Demi continued. “Love you all tons and ton [sic]…”

“When he was crying I asked him if he wanted to play with Buddy and he said yes,” Demi recalled. “That’s when Buddy jumped into his lap and made him smile when nothing else could. My little angel touched so many lives without even knowing it… Especially mine. I’ll never forget that day or how many smiles he brought to so many faces..”

Demi also posted an image of an inspirational verse from her meditation on Thursday, led by the quote, “This too shall pass.”
